Patients typically require a recovery period of one to two weeks before returning to daily activities.

Patients also receive guidance on scar care and skin moisturizing. For those traveling from abroad, the facility offers a dedicated recovery house. This home away from home includes 24-hour nursing care, daily cleaning, and prepared meals.
Travel and Package Options
International patients can choose between procedure-only or all-inclusive packages. The all-inclusive option covers the surgery, airport transfers, and local transport.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
The clinic offers surgical options for the face, body, and breasts. Each treatment plan is developed during a personal consultation to achieve natural-looking results. Surgeons prioritize patient education, including discussions on long-term outcomes and follow-up needs.
Breast Procedures
Breast surgeries address volume, shape, and projection. Specialists perform several types of mammaplasty:
- Breast augmentation using implants to improve bust projection
- Breast lift (mastopexy) to elevate sagging tissue
- Breast reduction to decrease weight and volume
Incision techniques depend on individual anatomy. Options include periareolar, vertical, and T-anchor approaches. Patients learn that implant reviews or replacements typically occur after 10–15 years.
Body Contouring and Rhinoplasty
Body procedures remove localized fat and skin while reinforcing musculature. Rhinoplasty addresses both aesthetic and functional concerns:
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to remove excess skin and repair abdominal walls
- Liposuction for fat deposits in the abdomen, thighs, and arms
- Brazilian Butt Lift using fat extraction and reinjection for enhancement
- Rhinoplasty to change nose size, shape, or improve breathing
Liposuction recovery typically takes 1–2 weeks. Major abdominal surgery requires 4 to 6 weeks. Rhinoplasty can also correct birth defects or damage from accidents.
